I would hate to see this happen. Any reason we can't get this deal done considering what the article claims Boston to be looking for? Granted, we would need to shed the Nash contract or most of it somehow. I would think we should at least kick the tires on this as he is exactly what we were missing! Just my thoughts. I know it's wishful thinking, but hey....I can dream.

That article is incredibly flawed because the Flyers need young, promising D just as bad as the Bruins do. We're in a similar boat. We have a couple of prospects but if we trade them, our cupboards are bare yet again and we're back to square one.

I'm not entirely sure where to post this, but here is my work up of the Rangers cap situation. Unless we move Hagelin in addition to buying out Boyle, we're pretty much going to have the same roster next season. Almost no room to work with under the cap for free agent additions.

If Stepan signs for $6M and Hagelin for $3M, we might be able to get a UFA forward as well.

I don't think that's a bad thing. This team was the best team in the NHL. A few very serious injuries kept us from going to the finals for a second straight year. If we replace MSL properly we'll have another chance at winning.

(I know we just traded our captain when we traded Cally for MSL, but I really think this D-corps needs to be lead by Yandle, and McDonagh is our best trade-chip that doesn't have a friggin NMC/NTC)

It's a huge gamble, but I think Hall puts our offense over the top.

I also think EDM does it because McDonagh gives them a young, under-contract #1D (their biggest need other than a goaltender) Maybe even include Talbot if McD doesn't get Hall alone, but I think he would.

EDM would still have Eberle, Nugent-Hopkins, McDavid, Yakupov, Pouliot, and Draisaitl in their top 6. And now they'd finally have a top defender.

I also wouldn't be opposed to getting someone like Patrick Sharp (if CHI looks to deal him on the cheap just to cut salary). We could use a RH shot on the PP.

The only reason this team dealt its last captain is because he was a UFA who the team couldn't come to an agreement with prior to the deadline. They had two offers, one for futures which Sather said he wasn't sure he would take, and the other for Marty St. Louis, which he considered too good to pass up on. Hindsight being 20/20, we can debate this to our hearts' content, but I don't even know where to begin with the idea of dealing McDonagh, let alone the concept that this teams' D needs to be lead by Yandle.
